e-Merge project is currently improving the quality of rural education specially in government run
schools by giving access to better educational infrastructure such as digital learning tools for
children. Total 100 Government Schools have appreciated this e-Merge Intervention through
certification as a unique intervention for improving the quality education of children in rural areas.
Our effort have been selected into NAVODAYA EXAM and we are expecting many more in current
year.

On a daily basis, Sankalp's teachers ( currently trained by Pratham India) visit government schools and teach students via e-learning content projected through laptops and activity learning kits. This has resulted in better engagement of students. Attendance rates have improved. Also in rural areas, government teacher availability is not consistent so Sankalp's teachers in many cases fill up the gap.

Asha for Education - SV will support Sankalp's initiative by funding laptops, teachers salaries, admin costs and e-learning content development. In addition, Asha Chennai's digital learning app - Asha Kanini will be utilized to impart education to Sankalp's beneficiaries. Teacher's training of Sankalp's atff with Asha Chennai has also been planned to be held in dceember 2019.
